Sherbet

Overview

Sherbet is an indica dominant hybrid strain with 85% indica and 15% sativa. It is a cross between the beautiful Pink Panties strain and the all too popular Girl Scout Cookies. It is a flavorful strain that is ideal for new patients who may not be used to earthy taste of most weed strains. The taste has been described by many patients to be sweet and creamy and leaves a burnt cookie taste lingering in your mouth. While others have described it as that of ice cream infused with peanut butter. The scent is a mix of fresh mint and tropical fruity while the smoke is rich and creamy.

Sherbet grows to a large size with dense popcorn shaped buds that have a mint green color. This is a highly resinous strain with abundant trichomes that give the buds a frosty coating. Being an indica dominant strain, Sherbet gives a potent body high that sets of a deep sense of relaxation followed by a mild couch lock. This is ideal for treating chronic body fatigue and minor body aches. It also gives a significant cerebral high that initiates happiness which later transforms into euphoria. The effects of Sherbet are deeply relaxing and invigorating.

Sherbet has moderate levels of both THC and CBD. It has 10-19% THC level and 1% CBD making an ideal choice for patients needing a mix of both cannabinoids without getting overwhelmed by the cerebral effects of THC. Sherbet is ideal for patients who may experience panic attacks after taking high THC strains.

Sherbet does well in both indoor and outdoor growing environments. Because of how dense and sticky the trichomes are it is not advisable to use bare hands while prepping the buds. You may need a grinder to break the buds at home.

This strain is ideal for evening and night time use.
